Title: Brad Castleberry is at it again
Post by: liquid_c on April 08, 2014, 03:23:01 PM
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=1478510395698079 there is only so much bullshit I will take before I say enough is enough.  I don't know which is worse, the all natural claims, or trying to convince the "low information lifter" that this kind of shit is legit.  It appears though that others have had enough as well lol.

That's gayer than your original post.. I don't know who the fuck Brad is and don't care... He may be a total homo like you but the point is a grown man doesn't point fingers and bitch.. You are truly the type of bitch that sips his whine and gossips like a "real housewife".

Sorry I hurt your feelings bro.  I didn't know my post didn't meet your approval.  Perhaps if Bradly didn't try to insult peoples intelligence so much, and not have such extreme narcissism he wouldn't be called out.

The natty thing is beyond stupid...I am way more interested to know:

Since you've been to that gym are those plates the plates from within that gym? With the small writing on them. Or like Rich Piano and Kali Muscle does he cart in 15 of his own fake ass plates from the trunk of his car every time he makes a vid?

Can you confirm those are the plates from that gym?

There's no point in having a spotter with that much weight.  If somethin goes wrong the dude is buried...
.the spotter can't do anything with that weight.

When George Leeman and Pete Rubish posted their vids...people were all over them. Nobody thought the shit was fake because it wasn't. This asshat and his world record a day lifts are ridiculous. He got smoked at the Arnold and that should have been the end of it. I guess he be something if he wasn't such an idiot.

There isn't a weight in any of these videos that isn't 45 pounds.
There isn't a lift in any of these videos that would pass in a powerlifting meet.
The kid is astronomically strong but uses a spotter in all of his lifts. He can dunk a basketball no problem at 5'9", Ive seen him military press 405lbs on the smith machine...there are 2 videos around of that...and again its with a spotter.... again non of these weights are fake....in most of the vids its in the very same gym dusty hanshaw and I did that Flex Magazine training shoot....they are 45 pound plates. Are we not done with that argument after one of getbigs very own went in that very gym and weighed the weights? What did they weigh..... 45 pounds.

    Way back in the day (way back) he was smaller everyone around him and he himself said he was clean. 18-19-20.......I think he is 28 now.....he aint clean....but if you ever talked to him I don't think he really gives a crap about this whole world you guys live and die in....and surely doesn't take things as seriously as you guys. I don't know why he said he was lifetime natural on facebook...probably to piss you guys off....which it did.

    What I find more astonishing is 40 year old bench press specialist Ryan Dewitt is on here complaining to a bunch of 20 year olds about a 28 year old guy in his gym and is cruising Bradley Castleberry's facebook page. Be a man and go up to him yourself instead of complaining about it to a bunch of anomynous guys on a message board. Tell him you got a problem with his claims and his videos. I set him straight all the time when I have disagree with him buts that's the way I do things. I told him in the past none of his lifts are legit because of help. He does his own thing....and if people knew him they would laugh and just say "that's bradley being Bradley".....Didn't he beat you pretty soundly (I think you got 5th) at the SD show a couple years back? Are you pissed at that? I don't understand going on a message board and bitching to people when the guy goes to your gym and you can tell him straight to his face his lifts wouldn't pass. I've heard him twice compliment you on your strength at Vista LA Fitness.... guess its not reciprocated.

Holy shit! Dante! You haven’t posted since 2011. Glad my comment got you out of “lurk” mode. :D
Not denying Brad is a good athlete or a strong guy. I’m sure he is.
But you do know there is a HUGE difference between dunking a basketball and raw benching +650lbs? :D
I know the lift wasn’t a textbook one and I don’t care how much the spotter assisted him with it. Either way, no way is this dude going anyway near that kind of weight.
PS. Brad’s bullshit doesn’t piss me off either. It’s actually a source of amusement – much like your claims that Brad was natural at 240lbs lean.

The problem Dante, isn't with the lifts passing or not passing.  I simply have an issue with for lack of a better term "Narcissism."  Those in the fitness industry would say narcissism is as common as people taking protein shakes "BTW, I do use your companies protein shakes :) "to which I would fully agree.  We all scroll through post day in and day out on FB and message boards of "look how big my arms are" or look how good I look today you name it.  You have to let some stuff slide.  However in Brads case, anyone even you can see that it is gone way beyond most to the point where it is just plain silly.  It sure just isn't me saying that.  My philosophy has always been if you are really good at something, you don't need to keep trying to remind people of how good you are.  I almost never brag about any of my lifts, don't ever make a sound in the gym, don't do a scream and victory dance after I complete a lift "I pretty much show no emotion at all in failure or success" don't post pictures, and if any videos are posted, they are almost always someone else doing it.  I sure as heck would never post anything I knew was not legit as it would be very embarrassed to do so.  Brad is at the very opposite end of that scale.  I do have extreme doubts about his natural claims but obviously that is a mute point because I cannot prove it.  However generally there is no need to scream out always that you are natural.  

Yes I have talked to him before and despite him doing things the exact opposite way I do them, I don't have any problem with him personally as he has never done anything to make me have a problem with him as a person.  Yes, without a doubt in the world 100% he is built much more for bodybuilding than me and for sure is the better bodybuilder.  That is why I do powerlifting only now as that is what I am 1000x better than and unlike many people, I know what I am good at and what I am not and don't bother to pursue things that I don't have the genetics for.  I've only know Bradly to do one powerlifting type meet many, many years ago I believe it was when they still had the Harbor day bench press contest for charity.  I beat him there pretty easy if I remember correctly he hit 455 but missed 475 and I hit 585, so obviously we have our own strengths.  He is very strong especially for how lean he is no doubt whatsoever and I admire strength in all forms.  I ignored all the other silly videos and I even would have ignored this one seriously had he used lets say 585 with the spotter.  However lets be honest 675 goes way beyond silly even for Brad and you can see a lot of people called him out on it as it was just too much to post LOOK HOW STRONG I AM NATURAL JUST HIT 675 yada yada.  You're a smart guy that knows the business Dante, you got to know that you do stuff like that you're going to be called out.  Heck that "hulk" guy has been called out a couple of times already now and his lifts are no where near as extreme as Brads are.  I guess you can disagree with the post which is your opinion, but in this sport, when you put yourself out there in such a way, you are going to be called on it.  Especially when you do it the way that is done, Brad being Brad or not.

I agree Ryan but I just take him for what he is. He is kind of goofy and doesn't take things seriously. I know he doesn't care about being a legit powerlifter or legit bodybuilder. My opinion is he saw someone elses facebook page that he lifted with recently (ill just keep that guy unnamed) and that guy told him "you got to promote yourself and be controversial, and get people following you".....and Bradley is trying to get a paying contract like the guy he lifted with in Venice.

You got to remember he is not living large.....The guy lays tile for a living and jumps over Isuzu rodeo's

jumps over incline benches

 
Its just not a serious gig.

No way in hell he's 5'9. We competed against each other in 07 and he was at least 4" taller. As for 405 on a smith machine? Good amount of weight but with real weigh would make him among the strongest on the PLANET.

My opinion is he saw someone elses facebook page that he lifted with recently (ill just keep that guy unnamed) and that guy told him "you got to promote yourself and be controversial, and get people following you".....and Bradley is trying to get a paying contract like the guy he lifted with in Venice.

You got to remember he is not living large.....The guy lays tile for a living and jumps over Isuzu rodeo's

jumps over incline benches

 
Its just not a serious gig.

Hey Dante, been a while. Still a huge fan of True Nutrition. Great products and happy to support a local business.

Agree with Ryan too... but met Brad a couple of times, he's a pretty mellow guy indeed, hard to hate on him once you know him a little. Key is he doesn't take himself too seriously, pretty confident guy. Just saw he has 2 kids now, that was quick lol. Good for him too. He seems like a good dad as well.

I'm redoing my flooring downstrair, looking for a good tile guy, forward me his info, seriously, would be happy to support a bodybuilder  :)

WOW. Never heard of this guy before but he just smashed the all time raw, drug-free powerlifting records with those lifts for the 220 weight class!  And the 242 weight class! Come to think of it, his bench is better than every weight class including the 308! HE IS THE GREATEST DRUG-FREE, RAW BENCH PRESSER OF ALL TIME. :o

He should compete.

Step 1: Load fake plates into Isuzu Trooper.
Step 2: Drive said Isuzu trooper to gym without damaging plates.
Step 3: Roll all plates into said gym without raising any "suspicion" or running into Getbiggers (who are at every corner).
Step 4: Match fake plates to real plates.
Step 5: Make bar bend so it looks "legit".

You make a very sensible point about the logistics of using fake plates but c'mon you can't actually believe that 675 bench press is legit?!

Just for reference - the ALL TIME RECORD for a raw bench in the 220 weight class is 585 (open) and 551 (drug tested). In the 275 weight class (I doubt this Castleberry guy weighs more than 230 in this video) it's 669 (open) and 617 (drug tested).

I'm local and been to where he trains multiple times, same plates same bench. Plates are all legit. Don't know much about power lifting but seen him do close to that often. Doesn't mean the lift is. Also Brad loves the Anadrolona IMO... crazy genetics + anabolica = almost lifts of peace. And he's more like 250+

No doubt he is an extremely strong individual. But I'm just not convinced he is the greatest bench presser of all time.

It's been a while and I just moved back so still catching up with our local San Diego celebrity dramas :).

Do you know why he got kicked out of LA fitness? Did one of the permanent ILS "trainer" got jealous? 

Hey Mike, come say hi, I'm probably going to start training in San Marcos again soon. :)

You saw the video, the plates are real. That was him in the video. Performing the lift.

Nobody is saying he wasnt spotted like crazy.

But everything is pretty black and white in the video.

there was a thread about the kid on the animal forum. Every single strongman, powerlifter, called bullshit on his lifts.  He's either stronger than ronnie coleman, or he's full of shit. one or the other..

Spotting this retard is a workout in its self. You could program your own routine around this shit and look pretty good.

I just don't understand why everything is so "hazy"  how come is brad virtually unknown in the strength world?

I was reading about how Ed Coan challenged greg kovacs one time, who was claiming these ridiculous poundages who people swore were legit. But he always failed to meet up with Ed. ;D

show me  Brad on the platform benching 600 pounds in competition..or up against a guy like sam byrd. .until then I don't believe it.

He's in Cali..Mark Bell and the rest would be all over this guy to come up and train..that shredded..he be very marketable. Byrd would beat him to death with one of his fake plates.
